[Teen Talk] Ep. 13 - Children of the Code
Added 2022-07-19 23:01:00 +0000 UTCThe Dad Crew talks through episode thirteen of the new season, including how everyone felt about all of the new lore reveals, the big turn of the season, and the monumental task of trying to match Eminem's flow for the intro song.
Plus, they talk about ways to slow down time as you get older, how to deal with imposter syndrome, and what everyone used to during recess as a kid.

I'm sure everyone can agree that this episode had one of the BEST INTROS! THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT AT THE REAL SCARY PLEASE STAND UP

Keith Rodriguez
2025-02-14 23:42:53 +0000 UTCFreddie: "Here's the rules of the game, X-Men. Everyone picks an X-Man that they are. And that's it." Huh. Literally same. We weren't even that into the comics but everyone immediately had a favourite character and knew how to play.

2025-02-02 06:42:24 +0000 UTCTo Anthony: I heard you and I saw you in the first season with the fairy/ferrys. I loved it and thought it was an amazing word play.

2024-08-24 18:14:26 +0000 UTCRelistening and got to the “oral” bit. Teach was attempting to screen for sexual abuse. The fact that it didn’t occur to the cast is maybe a positive?

Nicolas Heidtbrink
2023-11-17 21:51:25 +0000 UTCSo the Doodler is not actually in this world, he's in the process of trying to invade it. That gave me Giygas vibes. Cool reveal.

2022-08-27 02:10:14 +0000 UTCCould still be lore, never know
Dustin Raymond
2022-08-27 02:09:47 +0000 UTCI believe he will when the teens get in a funk. I'm sure Anthony will do something amazing to surprise us
Dustin Raymond
2022-08-27 02:09:04 +0000 UTCWill is a comic genius. I love his character in general. Hope everything is A-oaky.
Dustin Raymond
2022-08-27 02:07:31 +0000 UTCAs if it were straight from Henry's mouth lol
Dustin Raymond
2022-08-27 02:04:49 +0000 UTCA good way to challenge Imposter Syndrome is to verbally describe yourself (to yourself) as though you were another person introducing you at a wedding/formal event. Those introductions are brief and informative, so they highlight the accurate strengths and accomplishments that we often ignore/diminish.

2022-08-09 21:26:40 +0000 UTCWhere’s this weeks talking teens?
Henry G
2022-08-02 22:40:22 +0000 UTCThanks for the comments on the imposter syndrome. I struggle with that a lot and hearing other people talk about a similar experience (even though the cause is different) is really uplifting and helps me keep things in perspective. ❤️ Loved the latest ep!
Panda_Dork
2022-07-26 00:23:24 +0000 UTCI had the same purple sky theory! Also predictions for what the next song parody will be? My money’s on “coming out of the van and I’ve been doing just fine”
Sam Crawford
2022-07-24 17:42:17 +0000 UTCDid anyone find that article Anthony was talking about "how long does it feel like you've been alive at different stages"

2022-07-24 05:14:16 +0000 UTCNot me thinking Yeet could be Marco before remembering that Yeet didn't have feet but had a skateboard 😂
Andie Loos
2022-07-24 04:19:48 +0000 UTCim pretty sure in ep 2 it was confirmed that Link is adopted
Noah Conarroe
2022-07-24 03:24:25 +0000 UTCInstead of "quiet ball" our game's name was called Mum Ball, like mum's the word I guess.
Matthew
2022-07-23 23:43:23 +0000 UTCRandom question, but did they ever establish whether Link was biologically related to either Grant or Marco?
Gmork
2022-07-22 18:53:40 +0000 UTCI had thought that Code purple and the purple door was the door to Willie. Here’s my thinking, they are fighting the doodler (or rather trying to keep him at bay) and so if they are at their most desperate then they would bring out Willie. He would likely fight it because he doesn’t want to die and they would just deal with him after the fact

2022-07-22 17:30:28 +0000 UTCCurrent missing dads did code purple
ExiledDom
2022-07-22 05:44:06 +0000 UTCJust in case Will is reading the comments in an anxious frenzy looking for people to say they are so glad he isn't hear for this. Just wanna say Will is my favorite and missed him this episode
Joshua Edwards
2022-07-22 02:52:30 +0000 UTCYes. Documented...
Jordan Wilson
2022-07-22 00:41:09 +0000 UTCIt’s actually pretty well documented that he’s an abusive dick. The most recent trial ended in his favor but the lawsuit in the UK didn’t. One could make the argument that Amber was also abusive but he is also on trial for assaulting a crew member on a film he was working on.
IngloriousBaxter
2022-07-22 00:04:16 +0000 UTCI gotta disagree with Anthony about the eye reveal. I think if it had been revealed while the eye was open it could have been interesting, but the reveal after it closes is way better. The characters get all this information dumped on them all at once, and while they're trying to work it out and make sense out of it. Then all of a sudden: *whump* sunset happens. It's dark. You've been reading about this eldrich being that has a grudge against your family. All of a sudden, in the dark stillness of night, you realize. "That's no sun." Episode ends in darkness and confusion. Exactly how lovecraftian media should. Not only that, but they realized this info in ostensibly the most private way they could. It's the only time they aren't being actively observed by the being that wishes to devour them. It also hammers home the absolute difference in scale between them and the enemy they face. For the doodler, it is but an eye-blink, quite literally. For them, it's an entire 12 hours of darkness. Also, I just wanna give props to Anthony for giving a great reveal. I realized when he made the comment about the "dagger like shapes pointing inward towards the sun" that it was the eye of the doodler, so for a little while I got to feel superior to these teens that have magic powers because I knew something they didn't:p

Kari Carter
2022-07-21 14:10:14 +0000 UTCAs a fellow washingtonian, in like 5th grade or so the recess games were. 1- zombie ball ( popular kids mostly where you just touch the non infected people with a ball and then they act like zombies. 2- the short Asians played four square. 3- Teachers would take kids property as adults are prone to doing, they'd take Bakugan from students and force them to play for them back (forcing you to buy new toys to get your toys back). I just played video games

L Wold
2022-07-21 05:08:21 +0000 UTCDid Freddie talk about the parachute kid on an older Talking Dads or did I hear about the same exact kid on a different podcast?
James Beard
2022-07-21 04:38:57 +0000 UTCOH MY GOD FREDDIE THE XMEN GAME!!! You transported me back to so many forgotten memories of my childhood of the most fun game of all time which is choose which superhero or video game character you are and then pretend to be that person without interacting whatsoever with the other kids. Like no one would fight each other or against anyone else they would just pretend to be that superhero and feel like they're on cloud 9.
Austin Baker
2022-07-21 01:06:56 +0000 UTCI'm confused af because I definitely thought we already knew Willy was Beth's patron, I swear someone mentioned it at some point before this episode.
Logan Reed
2022-07-20 18:26:31 +0000 UTCFinally all caught up on the podcast. And now it's time to feel empty inside for a whole week
Evan Cordero
2022-07-20 17:08:04 +0000 UTCIf Willy isn’t gunna tag along then I think nick should cause grumpy older man baby sitting children is fav character trope

2022-07-20 16:46:49 +0000 UTCI appreciate the conversation about imposter syndrome!

Jess Houwen
2022-07-20 13:39:25 +0000 UTCDoes anyone know where I can find the fan art they were talking about?
IngloriousBaxter
2022-07-20 13:35:12 +0000 UTCI'm on Beth's side re: making Freddie do more work - USWNT games are important.
Margaret Bashaar
2022-07-20 13:26:56 +0000 UTCSo did the current missing Dads, aka S1 kids, do code purple or was it OG Daddies?

2022-07-20 13:23:52 +0000 UTCThink kick the bucket is also from hanging because the dood would stand on a bucket to wear their necklace then ya… well ya
Michael Singer
2022-07-20 12:31:30 +0000 UTCwhen are we gonna get an album of the intro songs???
Nicole Martinez
2022-07-20 12:03:00 +0000 UTC@freddie with your oral story. I work for a school system so it's also possible that she was trying to identify potential abuse. Usually children that have knowledge of adult words like that is an indicator.
Chris Bean
2022-07-20 11:36:27 +0000 UTCListening to this for the first ten minutes and realise Will isn't talking. A few more minutes and I'm getting concerned like does he feel bad about his (awesome) performance this episode??? Then realise at minute 19 when you say he's not there that he's not there lol. I hope he's well and he's proud of the episode!
Matt Downey
2022-07-20 10:42:33 +0000 UTCBeth performing that Slim Shady parody was so purely amazing. Just when I think you guys top yourself with a banger intro song you go and do it again. ❤
Emma Windle
2022-07-20 10:23:00 +0000 UTCThe talk about "quiet ball" made me remember one of my elementary school's rainy day activities which is quite possibly the literal opposite: Boomball. We'd play in the gym, and it was basically baseball with two major changes - the ball was a soccer ball, and the bat was sawed off at the end and inserted into a plastic 5-gallon water bottle. Sucker got LOUD.
yaboi
2022-07-20 09:39:56 +0000 UTCAnthony talking about imposter syndrome and him being special and really sucking made me think of this Dutch comedian who said: “I suffer from a superiority complex, BUT I am aware of my superiority complex… so that makes me beter then other people with superiority complex” That was basically this but flipt 180° into the negative.

2022-07-20 08:06:56 +0000 UTCScary is going to have a fire album
Rollin Mike
2022-07-20 07:42:50 +0000 UTCI always saw Willie being Scary's patron with her being a warlock. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

Chantelle Black
2022-07-20 07:08:38 +0000 UTCHAA, I fucking knew it was willy. Also it totally makes sense that he'd be able to manipulate a teen with a identity crisis.
BigNovaKane
2022-07-20 05:34:46 +0000 UTCLoving the season so far, the bit with the doodler gave me the same goosebumps as the omega dad's reveal
Michael
2022-07-20 03:11:24 +0000 UTCAnthony saying "someone could tell me hey this could be better, and I'm like yeah. Could be! Not gonna happen" hit me like a freight train goddamn. Top tier Anthony. Also I'm with Freddie I think it's an easy rap, though I've heard the song a thousand times so I'm possibly biased.
Josh
2022-07-20 03:07:28 +0000 UTCIf matt read up what paladin could actually do (like being immune to disease) and Freddy was some of the variant rules then it might be better. But yeah the teen talks are honestly more fun.
The Red M
2022-07-20 02:26:08 +0000 UTCI agree, the opening to this episode was GOLDEN. I played it a few times just so I could sing along
Corbin Young
2022-07-20 01:28:38 +0000 UTCNot to be the worst kind of rap hipster, but if you want dense rhyme schemes and similarly slick flow I would check out MF DOOM. Aesop rock is another who will just spit a novel at you.
Malory McVicker
2022-07-20 01:13:43 +0000 UTCI never realized how masterful "the real slim shady" is until right now. I listened to it again and you're right, it would absolutely humble me at karaoke.
Viyerre
2022-07-20 00:57:32 +0000 UTCI’m just stoked that maybe we’ll meet some fun new goofballs now that their into the “unknown” world. Like a little cthulu smudge ball that rolls around with them and just does cute things. But turns into a god cannon when they need it. Woo. Oh or the resistance fighters of the world taken over. Heck yeah.
Brett Simmons
2022-07-20 00:24:35 +0000 UTCOn quiet ball - in Australia my school played silent ball when we had rainy days BUT ALSO it was just a major thing sometimes in our sport classes and this carried from our middle school all the way to highschool, like I remember playing it in my final years of school
Mikayla Convery
2022-07-20 00:20:01 +0000 UTCThe best part is Beth doing the chika-chika-chika part.
J.S.
2022-07-19 23:48:13 +0000 UTCWhere is Will? :(
Bryan Steele
2022-07-19 23:33:19 +0000 UTCI agree I feel like this season is more a TV show than an actual play. So it's more interesting to hear how they work it all out as a team of writers behind the scenes; so they can shape and form the show into the story they want to tell regardless of the impact random chance dice and improv roleplay create.

2022-07-19 23:21:45 +0000 UTCI hate to say it, but I actually look forward to the Teen Talks more than the actual episodes this season.
